Key takeaways:

The holidays are a time when schedules and routines are disrupted so your normal supervision level may be affected as you try to juggle all the “to dos”. It’s a time when you bring out items you use once a year, e.g., decorations. Be aware these items will be attractive to children so put breakables and candles up high and check for choking hazards.
You may be visiting family and friends, so children are in different environments and the homes you’re visiting may not have children so food and other items may be accessible. Or you’re having visitors to your home and so your attention may be distracted. Have a designated supervisor for young children to watch they aren’t eating food they may choke on, or hurt themselves such as with lit candles.
Burns are a common injury seen in the emergency department, from hot liquids, hot food and fireplaces. These injuries can be very severe. Use lids on hot beverages, be aware of children in the kitchen (where everyone likes to congregate!), and either put a guard around the fireplace or don’t use it while young children are around.

Key takeaways:

Age recommendations on products, such as toys, are not related to your child’s abilities but rather to the small parts that are dangerous for younger children. Toys recommended for older children have pieces that are small and can be a choking hazard for younger children.
Button batteries are very dangerous if swallowed and they are found in everything from toys and greeting cards to remote controls and hearing aids. If you suspect or know your child has swallowed a button battery, it is an emergency. Take them to the hospital immediately and give them a small amount of honey to help coat the battery to prevent it from leaking and burning the esophagus.
An easy way to check if an item is a choking hazard is to use a toilet paper tube – if the item fits through the tube, it’s a choking hazard.

Be aware of the source of information online. Ask questions like “What are their qualifications?”, “Who are they representing?”, “Does the information sound too good to be true?”. Pay special attention to posts pushing and selling products or sounding like an infomercial.
Canada and the United States don’t always have the same regulations or approvals. Check if a product is legal to be sold and used in Canada.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and FDA review are NOT the same thing. Approval means the product has been through testing and approved for use. Review means the product has been looked at by the FDA but not (yet) approved.

So, what are the special considerations you need to be aware of when it comes to booster seats? Since they look different from other seats, how do they work? Where should you install them? When is your child ready to move into a booster seat? Today we’re going to talk about it all: everything you need to know about selecting, installing, and using a booster seat.

Key takeaways:

Not all car seats fit all cars or kids. Some seats even fit differently between seats in one car, for example, the seat may be okay in the back middle seat, but not the seats on either side. Check out the fit in each of the seating positions to get the right fit.
The lap and shoulder belts must be used every time with booster seats. Using lap belts only can cause severe abdominal injuries. Note: booster seats should not be used on airplanes for this reason.
In addition to finding the right fit, your child’s maturity is also key in choosing whether to move from a high-back booster seat to a low back booster seat or having your child ride in their booster seat in the front seat when needed.

Key takeaways:

Keep your children in their forward-facing car seat for as long as possible. Moving too quickly into a booster seat is dangerous.
Pay attention to the correct setup of the forward-facing car seat, including the harness positioning against the shoulder, the top tether being anchored to the vehicle and selecting the correct belt path on convertible car seats.
Bulky snowsuits and sports equipment can compromise the safety of your child when riding forward-facing. Use thinner clothing such as wools and fleeces or use blankets over the car seat strapping as alternatives.

The first car seat you’ll need after your child is born is rear facing, which is what’s recommended for infants and younger children. But what kind? How do you install it? How long do you keep using it? Why is rear facing best? What are the laws? Today, we’re going to talk it through: everything you need to know about selecting, installing and using a rear-facing car seat.

Joining the podcast for the conversation are parents Katie Pereira and Jessica Hetherington, as well as our expert, Katherine Hutka, President of the Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada.

Key takeaways:

Rear-facing car seats are safest in a crash because the seat cradles and protects the head, neck and spine.
Not all car seats fit in all cars. When buying a rear-facing seat, check the fit of the seat in your car as well as the fit of your child in the seat.
Buying, installing and using a rear-facing car seat is not simple. Don’t get discouraged! There are places to find credible information and support.

Key takeaways:

There is a difference between a risk and a hazard. A risk is thrilling and exciting play, where kids are engaged with uncertainty and there is a chance of physical injury - think back to your favourite childhood memories. A hazard is something that could cause serious injury or death, such as broken equipment, broken glass or needles. Luckily these are very rare occurrences. Risks and hazards can be age or ability specific, and therefore can change over time.
As safe as necessary, not as safe as possible. Let children take the lead, give children the choice, trust them to make good decisions, and to manage the risk on their own.
Physicians and other medical professionals are a trusted source of information for parents. The Canadian Paediatric Society’s Injury Prevention Committee statement provides best practice information to physicians to be able to support parents in balancing and encouraging physical activity – risky play.

Key takeaways:

Not every product you buy in Canada is tested for safety before it is sold. Check to see if a product has a standard and, if so, the one you’ve purchased meets that standard.
Be cautious when buying, accepting, sharing or disposing of second-hand products. Check that the product: is in good condition; has labels that will tell you what standard the product meets (if applicable); has an expiry date or manufacture date; and has not been recalled.

Health Canada has information on products that have been recalled as well as a place to report injuries and/or concerns with a product. To check if a product has been recalled, visit recalls-rappels.canada.ca. To report an injury form or concern with a product, visit canada.ca/en/services/health/report-health-safety-concern.html.

Key takeaways:

Keep products that can be poisonous up high and locked. Children explore their environment by putting things in their mouths and don’t have the same “ick” reaction as an adult would.
Some products that can be poisonous are obvious, like medications, cleaning products, while others like mouthwash you might not think about. Visit Parachute’s website for information about what products to watch out for - parachute.ca/en/injury-topic/poisoning/.
Canada has a toll-free 24/7 number for poison centres. If you suspect a poisoning, call 1-844-POISON-X (1-844-764-7669). If you are located in Nunavut, contact your local health centre. If you are located in Québec, call 1-800-463-5060.

Drowning doesn’t happen like on TV, where splashing and calls for help attract attention. Drowning is silent, quick and can happen in very little water.

The first few years of a child’s life sees significant changes to their mobility and brain functions, so steps you need to take during these years, like avoiding certain foods (e.g., carrots, hot dogs, popcorn) that are a source of choking, can be introduced when your child is older.
Putting your child to sleep on their back is the best strategy to avoid suffocation in bed, along with removing bumper pads, pillows and stuffed animals.

Changes to products, such as shortened cords, and campaigns to lower hot water temperature settings, have reduced the risk of burns.
Tap water causes nearly a third of scald burns requiring hospitalization. Many Canadian homes have hot water that is 60 °C (140 °F). This can cause a third-degree burn on your child’s skin in just one second.
The glass barrier on your gas fireplace can heat up to more than 200 °C (400 °F) in about six minutes during use. It takes an average of 45 minutes for the fireplace to cool to a safe temperature after the fire is switched off.

Are you the one who’s trying to keep everyone safe? This podcast is for you!
When we think about preventing injuries, we might think, BUBBLE WRAP! Keep everyone safe by wrapping them up and away from any harm. But that’s not the best way to prevent injuries. You don’t have to stop living to stop injuries.
Injuries aren’t inevitable and their impact overall is a lot greater than most people know. Did YOU know that injuries are the Number One cause of death for Canadians ages 1 to 44? Those people fell, were poisoned, were in a motor vehicle crash. Surprised?
So how do we change this? By embracing proven ways to prevent serious injuries. You wouldn’t jump out of a plane without a parachute. Think of this podcast as the parent’s parachute. The good news is that almost all injuries are preventable – you just need to use the right parachute.
Injuries are the No. 1 cause of death but there are known solutions to prevent them.
Children can be safe at home, at play, and on the road / move.
Parents know their children best, what they are capable of and not capable of, and can use this to balance safety and FUN!
